Courses
Integrated learning sequences
Student focused tasks that integrate lessons and questions, with adaptive learning to guide progress.
Auralia® and Musition® contain loads of courses. Students can retry entries in courses, and commonly need to achieve a 'mastery' target threshold before they can progress.
- Ear Training
- Music Theory
- Jazz Aural & Theory
- Band Aural & Theory
- AP Music Theory
How are they used?
Many instructors set their students one course each week, providing complete control over the topics and questions that students will work with.
Almost any item of content can be included; questions may come from any syllabus and topic, or, directly from the library. All course scores are stored separately and courses can be taken multiple times if required.
Courses allow you to create tasks for your students that integrate lessons and questions, with ‘pass thresholds’ to guide student progress.
- Worksheets
- Quizzes
- Learning pathways
- Structured practice sequences
Viewing Results
Quickly and easily find results via a student's account, or open a report and see a summary of all students who have taken a course. Reports allows you to sort results quickly and easily.
If necessary you can examine the student response to every single question, giving you invaluable insight into their abilities.
Creating & Customizing
Teachers often like to create their own courses, ensuring that content is nicely aligned with their curriculum and other teaching materials. Content can be included from any syllabus, topic and level; even syllabi that you have created yourself.
You can also use any of the 20,000+ provided library questions directly in your tests. Importantly, the library also allows you to include your own images, audio, notation and YouTube links in your custom questions. Library questions are extremely flexible, from simple multiple choice through to notation based composition tasks.
